When you turn on the track monitoring (with no plug-in) in ProTools or Cubase, do you hear the guitar in your headphones/monitor and does it sound clear? If so, insert PF as a Plug-in to the track, but turn off all presets, turn everything off in it, you should hear the same clear sound, right? If not, you may need to reinstall PodFarm. If it is clear, start adding components into the sound chain in PF and see what happens.

Well it's all crunchy, buzzy and it sounds like it's in the other room if you know what i mean.
It is clear! I don't really know how to turn the presets off tbh, i found a "presets" tab on PF but there's nothing about turning them off.

When you have Podfarm on, with whatever preset has been selected, you can see the sound chain below - fx, preamp, amp, speakers, etc. Click on any of them to adjust, change, or delete them from the chain. If you are unable to do this, then you may need to start fresh and delete all Line 6 files, then reinstall.

Can you post screen shots of your PodFarm mixer and PF plug-in screen? Not sure why you don't hear any changes, unless you are either 10 not monitoring the plug-in sound, 2) have multiple instances of PF running; 3) have a dual-sound selected and only hearing the one you are not 'seeing/adjusting'.

Forgive me in advance for questions about things you probably have tried and/or are doing, but just wanted to get an idea about what is happening and how you have things set up.

Just to make sure I have an idea about what you are hearing, you are hearing a dry un-effected guitar sound, and also a nasty sound. Is this nasty sound just noise or does it give notes? Is it like an amplified guitar but with really nasty sound or is it like the dry signal is giving you the guitar sound and the nasty bit is just 'additional' noise - like if you had a cable plugged into an amp without it being connected to an instrument?

Do you have the speakers plugged into the mbox outputs or another sound card? Also (as I don't have an mbox but a ux2 -so its similar to the ux1), can you tell me if you had the speakers plugged into the ux1 output or another soundcard? Sometimes people have pod farm outputting to another soundcard other than their line 6 device and it doesn't give them the proper sound.

Hopefully its just something not set quite right in the audio settings between pod farm/daws and the mbox.

If you are playing other sounds in the daws etc., are they sounding fine through the mbox?

Concerning the dry signal. It would be worth having a look in Pod Farm in mixer view and seeing where the knob is set for 'D.I. Level'. If it isn't set fully left, try turning it there and see if that stops the dry signal being heard as this setting sets how much dry signal you hear (if you want some dry signal).

Hello there Line 6 experts! What was the upshot of this? I have the exact same problem. I have tried every single way possible to record in Cubase 7 using a UX2 and Pod Farm either before Cubase or as a plug in with dry signals and I get horrible sounding recorded guitar tracks.

Dude, I just don't know what else to try. I can send a dry, semi-dry or wet signal, and they all sound horrible once recorded. I even dropped the output in the upper right of Pod Farm to half, and it is still a horrible signal being recorded. Dunno what to do. Anybody in or near Gainesville FL whom I can call or consult?

Let 's start again.

Record your dry signal, no PF plugin on it. Play it back - it sounds like it should?

Put the PF plugin on the track. Play it back - it now sounds bad?

Go into the PF plug-in and deselect the components on whatever preset you have selected, one at a time, playing the track back each time. Do you notice anything different in the sound as you deselect each part of the patch (i.e. remove the distortion pedal, the amp sim, etc). If nothing changes with the sound when you do this, something is not set right somewhere.

If you can post soundclips and screenshots, it woudl help us help you.
